Chapter 1124 Report

"The number of casualties during the winter is… 2."

"!!!" Noel raised his eyebrows. "2? Are you serious?"

At first glance, it looked like Noel was dissatisfied with the result. However, the real truth was that Noel was simply shocked.

This result was beyond his imagination.

"Yes. Both of them also have their own illnesses, so the severe cold makes their immune systems finally give up." Rose nodded. "We have more than eight thousand people in our city. Only two have died. While the winter has yet to end, we believe that the number wouldn't reach five."

Noel sucked a cold breath. In the first place, a big city with twenty to thirty thousand people usually loses more than a hundred people. So, it was shocking that Noel only suffered two casualties. While it was true that every death saddened him, it didn't change the fact that he was already successful in managing the winter, especially since his town hadn't been completed yet.

"If we have to compare them with big cities, it's already amazing. Even if we have the same number of people, we should be able to pass the winter with a tenth number of deaths compared to other successful lords."

Noel thought for a moment. "What about the others? Are there sick people?"

"Indeed. However, Khalid has assured us that everyone will be fine except for one person who has a severe illness. Thus, the reason for our confidence in keeping the number low." Rose explained.

"I see." Noel let out a long breath of relief. Even his father couldn't achieve this in the past. "What about our money? Have you spent all of them?"

"Don't worry. While we haven't sold the rune technology yet, we still have about twenty thousand gold coins to spare. We have also negotiated with several lords about the installation of the said technology, especially the water storage. Among what we currently have, the water storage and the container are the most sought after. They're also wondering if you are planning to open the train for business as well."

Noel thought for a moment. "Tell them that the train will be open for business after the main city is open to the public. Before that, I'd like to increase our number to ten thousand first and use the train to enter our city. This way, the train should be advertised to nobles, merchants, and even commoners. Use it as a way to measure the ticket price as well."

"Certainly." Rose nodded.
